I am a tenant running a little shop on a leased property.
A few months back, fire was caused on that property, definitely without intention, and I need some help. The fire was caused by a pre-heating pan with oil catching on fire while I had to serve a customer. The property is small and store is connected by residential area.
According to Retail Lease Act 2003 - sect 57 - Damage premises (RETAIL LEASES ACT 2003 - SECT 57 Damaged premises) it says "... except where the tenant caused the damage...". I think whether it was an accident or not, I have caused the damage so I doesn't apply to me, but I still would like to double check.
Thanks
